thx your video helped me a lot, i am 14 and i am writing a book i know you r probably like oh this is just some 14 year old that wants to write a little book and probably wont even go through with it, but actualy i am realy serious about this i just started writing it its about a boy who goes on a safari in africa and ends up having to survive with some other tourists. i realy hope i can go through with it all thx again. :)
Heey :) thankyou!! I found your vid really helps :) also what would be a good title for a book about a girl who's known her guy bestfriend for like forever!! And the guy is secretly in love with her and gets really jealous of the guy the girl has a crush on?? And the girl loves him bak but dosnt know it yet. Sorry if that didn't make sense :) ahaha please reply.
Wow im new to utube and i have wanting to write a book on my casino experiences along with teaching people the game of craps...Would appreciate your help in the matter ..You are a godsend thx..joe..
THANK YOU !! this video is well good i hv watched over 50 videos on how 2 rite a book and they were alll crap and told me things i already kew !! but this one is fab !!
Thanks. I like to do things in steps. Okay you get the editor, what is the next step? I would like to start my own self-publishing company of my own, publishing my own books.
@Handsomeman791 Gaah! Men! I've noticed that in every video that has a female there's always at least one post from some horny dude about having sex with her.
thanks for all the tips...you help me so much and your video was funny but how do you write a book about your life? and to tell help your story of how you served...
Im writing a crappy book. Its my very first one, so I have a reason for it to be crappy. Im just testing my writing skills. I wanna see if im any good at writing books.
@nickjjismyhusband Here's a challenge for you: Write your crap book, then sit on the computer and alter it in both its subplot's and its structure. That's what I did and my book is really good now; I also learned what makes a book a good book :)
Thank you. I have two months were I will be alone every day doing nothing. I'm gonna write my book every day and finish it by the begining of September.
thanks so much..! u started to bore me when you kept throwin facts at me and i thought about what i want to write about. #no offense ..! but it helped me a lil :D
Just finished typing up a book on the computer. I'm in love with it already, but ya know I have to check it over and see if I wanna change anything, it's a long process, but I'm happy I've written my first book. My first series is going to be a four book series, and I just finished the first one, three more books to go.
@rhettbutler96 She backs that up afterwards with tips on how to get started on it. But she's basically saying that the person who feel as though their book won't turn out great to at least attempt on writing it if their story is already in their head. Then they're able to see how it will turn out afterwards and what needs to be edited.
The only issue I seem to be having is that I get so far into the story but I have problems writing further. Its not from lack of content or knowing where I want the book to go... I just cant write. I need practice, and your advice helped alot. Thanks!! :D
I'm in the very beginning stages of outlining a novel's plot. My problem is that I can never seem to write enough to make a book...but maybe this one will be longer!
Btw, I think I'm the only person older than 12 who's commented here lol
I'm 15 and I've been writing ever since I could hold a pencil and write my own name (I am a complete book worm- and here's the irony; my name is Paige. Go figure.) I have lots of stories but I'm wondering what are some tactics to stay focused? I write like ten stories at a time and never finish-and showing other people? Way too shy!! What to do?! Seems like lots of other people have my problem too haha poor us ^^"
You remind me of my mother in law. She has your direct... yet somehow scattered thought patterns ( no offence intended of course, she speaks sense too )!! Please could you offer some constructive criticism on the children's book I have uploaded. It's animated but it's the story I am keen to have feedback on. Many thanks.
i'm 11 years old and I have TONS of stories in my head that I written down. but i am SOO DARND SHY I TAKE ONE GOOD COMMENT INTO AN INSULIT! i have writeing classes and it is going to be trouble next year.....aww
I think you touched down on some very good points when it comes to trying to put things together when trying to writing a book. I've just been threw somethings and now that the drama is finally ova i would really like to release some stress and to just tell sumone about how the way certain things can be avoided by thinking smart. Your video is a very good starting step and i'm glad i found it. I most def have a creative mind and i know many can relate to my story that's soon to be the future
1. Write and do not edit (rough draft) 2. Find a place to write where you won't be interrupted. 3. Set down and enjoy your writing 4. Pick a subject. 5. Make sure you have an audience 6. COMPETITION IS HIGH.. make sure there is a market for it. 7. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN OUTLINE (Fiction or non-fiction). 8. PICK A TITLE 9. Choose an editor 10. writing, publishing, marketing abookinside(dot)blogspot.com
Thank you so much! I am twelve and I plan on writing a novel. I'm strange when it comes to writing sometimes, I kind of write out certain scenes to get an idea of the product I want. Many times this discourages me. I like how you said just get it out and write it! I think i will do that from now on. This video is full of helpful information and things I believe I needed to know and hear from a published author! Thanks so much!
@TheChillyCucumber I'm 11, and so far I have a pretty good foot-hold on writing, not published yet. I have a great idea, and I am being taught how to write. In writing at school I get As all the time. I guess the reason is because since I was in second grade I've been reading books like Narnia, Harry Potter, stuff like that, so I have a high demand in my head when I'm writing, and I always want to meet it.
I'm not exactly sure if you'll write back, but when I was ten, I was interested in writing a book. I wasn't very good at it, but I got the hang of it. I kept planning and planning until I came up with an idea I actually wanted to write. It all started out with you. I am now eleven, and my first book is 104 pages long. Thank you.
im young and love fantasy i play alot of video games and get my inspiration from there like bio ware they write amazing stories also harry potter is a great book also there
Some good points, esp regarding having others read it to spot check it for you. I left a few mistakes in my manuscript before submission. Others helped to point them out for me, since I did not have an editor. You're right. The eyes just looks past those errors much of the time if you don't read them over.
So, how many books copies have you sold?
BTW, I believe that "double dot" is in fact a colon, but I could be wrong. Ha-ha!
I am no writer , infact at school I could never spell , in my frirst year at school in Austraila NSW, I was asked to stand up in front Of my first school ing to spell cake , I spelled it Kake the class all laughed .
Loved your little vid I thank you verymuch for your say
What the hell is this woman talking about it? She's obviously discussing self-publishing. You don't pay an editor! The best thing to do is to try to get a literary agent. That is the best ticket at getting published. It can be a long tedious process but it's definitely worth it, if you have enough faith in your work.
An outline is only necessary if you have gaps in the story and your're unsure of the direction the story is going. Outlines should not be so detailed. I disagree with her. The main subplots she be addressed but let your characters drive the scene. The more spontaneity, the more realistic the characters will become to the reader.
All these people mention that you shouldn't worry about editing. Just write. That's incredibly hard for me. I'm full blown OCD when it comes to anything creative
I'm not trying to discourage you from writing a book. However, I am attempting to open writer's eyes to the fact that it is very unlikely they will publish a best-seller. There are 30,000 new books released every day; that is a lot of competition.
WRITE YOUR BOOK! That's all I intended to say. It's a gratifying experience no matter how many books you sell. Good luck to you all and thank you for watching my video. I plan a new upload in the next few months.

I've been writing since I was 10. I have soo many story ideas and starts of stories. I've written a book that was 130+ pgs but then I decided I didn't like it. I have all the ideas in my head, I have the dedication and the love for writing, but I'm just not good at combining that all together.
Honestly, and I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but this video made me feel LESS confident in writing. Shouldn't you be promoting us to write?
@ChrissyLuffsYooh I'm not trying to discourage you from writing a book. However, I am attempting to open writer's eyes to the fact that it is very unlikely they will publish a best-seller. There are 30,000 new books released every day; that is a lot of competition.

Im 12 years old and i love writting but theres one problem. IM THE WORST RWRITER EVER! I started my 1st book when i was 8. It was terriable. Ive attenmped 2 more books n i have failed each time.
I haven't finished this video yet. I stopped it right at 'just keep on writing' in the beginning and haven't stopped writing for a few hours. So far the advice is working. I can't wait to finish!
Great tips! I'm only 14 years old, but I love to type stories as much as I can. I try my luck at fantasy, realistic fiction, and science fiction, but I cannot ever finish one.
It was very inspiring but im only 11 years old. and r u suppose to encourage us not say "I doubt it that u will have a sell." then tha5t makes us feel that we r going to fail.
Hey, i listened to this and i sit in the middle of conversations t vs and was never distracted. i was just acting like it was part of what i am writing
thank you so much for puting this on youtube ... i just started my book ... and its a fiction version of my life .. with alot more excitement ... its called A Witch's Diary :Freshman year i hope its good lol thanks again bye
You are adorable, I loved your video, I could be watching for hours!
Yeah, you got it, I came here looking for some helpful tips to how start a book.
But only one thing about what you said I didn't agree, about the dog story you said, just a word "Marley", and you'll know what I'm talking about, a best seller book!
Ahhh you have a nice voice, and the next time you publish your book, you could put a CD attached with the "spoken book".
Thanks for posting this video. I found it very useful with some excellent tips on how to start writing. I find if I have to write anything such as reports etc it is best to have complete silence with maybe just some classic music in the background. I find songs with lyrics off-putting as you end up singing the words in your head and ultimately loose your train of thought. Thanks again for this guide you are right I just need to get on and do it! ;-)
@fezard3461 yeah! arent you supposed to encourage us? micheal jackson says all i wanna say is they dont really care about us. rodney dangerfield is dead. im hung. 2 pac is alive.
@fezard3461 She is just saying most people don't get their book published. If she said "yeah it's easy to get your book published" that would be a straight out lie
@CMKify I guess that's a nice attempt at sounding deep.... however we both live in a reality where most people who begin writing books don't finish, people who finish don't take the steps to become published and people who do see no success from it....... so, yes, realistic
I'm writing a book right now but I don't know what it is about. I write the first thing that crosses my mind. I still don't know what it'll be about... but as I write I start thinking... And it's starting to work.
Thank you very much! Sometimes I get ideas for books and I think they might be good, but then I start writing and I start thinking nobody will like it. The hardest part of your video for me is writing an outline. When my English teacher asks us to do a graphic organizer, an outline and four paragraphs, it's always easier for me to do the graphic organizer first, the paragraphs second, and when I finish everything I do the outline.
i have a question though. i still don't understand how to send it off to a publisher. do you mail it off to someone, or something like that? someone PLEASE give me an answer! thanks!
Im only 13 and im wrighting a novel, but Im not sure if it would get published. It is about a girl whos finds out she is Imortal, and her family is being hunted by a hunter family then she meets the son of the hunter and he helps her save his parents any way do you thik I could get it published with all the competion going on with vampire books
you know that sound really interesting. i'm pretty sure someone would love to publish your book, especially with all these super natural books being bestsellers.
Great video hope you post another one for me my profile coreymichelena101 thank you I love your video it inspired me on writing a book I'm only 11 years old writing a story my family Is happy that I did write a story and thanks to you
i'm on chapter 13 on my book and i'm not so sure what to title it. it's about this family who must live with their other family on Long Island because they cannot afford their home in Queens, because of a fire. ideas????
I keep on restarting because i sometimes think my stories are not good enough. I read others books and think their perfect but i never like and appreciate my own.
marley and me got published and became a movie. Anyways i luved this vid! I subscribed. Im a future author Eduardo. I agree with you. I tried to write a book without notes and i ended up writing my notes. Also how you said put them in order you can write your notes in order. Also can you use an online editor. My last question is can you tell me if my book is gud. If u do tell me ur email. K
First off, I want to say that you are very entertaining and seem to know a lot about what you're talking about. Second, do you have any tips for young adult/teen authors?
Sure, keep your first books at 25,000 words or less to keep your story tight. Next, take a creative writing course and English 101. Most of all, have fun with your writing!
ya i have have a tendency to stop writing half way through a novel i have two prologues posted on my channel if anyone cares to review them feedback would be appreciated :P
thx your video helped me a lot, i am 14 and i am writing a book i know you r probably like oh this is just some 14 year old that wants to write a little book and probably wont even go through with it, but actualy i am realy serious about this i just started writing it its about a boy who goes on a safari in africa and ends up having to survive with some other tourists. i realy hope i can go through with it all thx again. :)

Carol,
You are adorable, I loved your video, I could be watching for hours!
Yeah, you got it, I came here looking for some helpful tips to how start a book.
But only one thing about what you said I didn't agree, about the dog story you said, just a word "Marley", and you'll know what I'm talking about, a best seller book!
Ahhh you have a nice voice, and the next time you publish your book, you could put a CD attached with the "spoken book".
I'm brazilian, that's why I missed some phrases..

Thanks for posting this video. I found it very useful with some excellent tips on how to start writing. I find if I have to write anything such as reports etc it is best to have complete silence with maybe just some classic music in the background. I find songs with lyrics off-putting as you end up singing the words in your head and ultimately loose your train of thought. Thanks again for this guide you are right I just need to get on and do it! ;-)

@CMKify I guess that's a nice attempt at sounding deep.... however we both live in a reality where most people who begin writing books don't finish, people who finish don't take the steps to become published and people who do see no success from it....... so, yes, realistic

I'm writing a book right now but I don't know what it is about. I write the first thing that crosses my mind. I still don't know what it'll be about... but as I write I start thinking... And it's starting to work.
ilovepopmusic12 1 year ago
Thank you very much! Sometimes I get ideas for books and I think they might be good, but then I start writing and I start thinking nobody will like it. The hardest part of your video for me is writing an outline. When my English teacher asks us to do a graphic organizer, an outline and four paragraphs, it's always easier for me to do the graphic organizer first, the paragraphs second, and when I finish everything I do the outline.

I tried to write a book without notes and i ended up writing my notes. Also how you said put them in order you can write your notes in order. Also can you use an online editor. My last question is can you tell me if my book is gud. If u do tell me ur email. K

Sure, keep your first books at 25,000 words or less to keep your story tight. Next, take a creative writing course and English 101. Most of all, have fun with your writing!
